Edgar the platypus crawled out of his burrow to meet his friend Matilda. She is a wombat. Together they enjoy eating fish sandwiches and weaving household furniture at the bottom of Lake Keenakawonk.

“What is wrong little one?” asked Matilda.

“Monsieur Chapeau has captured my parents and plans to eat them.”
